The committee appointed to select
grounds for Missoula Fair and Racing
Association will probably report in favor
of 12O acres situated about three-quar-
ters of a mile south of town. The loca-
ton is said to be excellent. The land IS
owned By A,essrs. Eddy, Hammond and
others.
| The New York Central Park expedi-
| ton, which has been out in the wild
country north Of Miles City for two
months, returned last week. Among the
specimens obtained were three buffalo
hides and bones, all preserved. Ornith-
ology received attention, as we'll as the

linens were obtined.
Last Sunday night Jerry Clifford, Sec
| ton foreman between Central Park and
oreland, while in drunken stupor laid
down upon the railroad track, using the
rail as 4 pillow. The train going east

| capitating him. The rumor that he was
robbed and placed on the track by his
ass;ailant is not credited.

PAN AUDIENCE TO AMERICANS,

Founding OF the University.
ROME, March 2G.-An audience TO the
American visitors was gwen at the Vati.
can to-day. Upward of fifty Americans
ladies and gentlemen--sssemb Ied in the
hall, adorned With ancient tapestry pic
turing the miracles of Christ, whence
they were ushered into the throne room,
where sottened light penetrated two
great windows. When the P0pe's pres
ence in an adjoining room was known all
knelt. and the guards held their sword
at salute while the Pope, who wore a
white sontane and crimson cloak,
slowly approached. Entering the
throne room the Pope said: 1--WE come to
welcome these good Americans" He
then seated himself in the chair in front
OF the throne and cushions were placed OF
his feet. Bishops Ireland, Watterson and
heane and Rector O'Connell were the
hrst to approach. In his conversation
with the Bishops the Pope expressed
great pleasure at the progress made by
the church in America. He was con-
cerned about the success of the new uni i
Yersity and felt the necessity of havin G
sucn university in the United States.

the growth of Cstholiclty in the United
States, the rector stating that the college
would contain at least 200 rooms. The
Pope expressed surprise. He said that
such building would cost much money.
and that this WAS hopeful sign Of
Catholic growth in America. The
Bishops then presented the other
visitors, each OF whom knelt
and kissed the Papal ring, the Pope ad-
dressing few gracious words to each.
Among those presented was the Asso-

held the journalists hand In both of his,
talking to him rapidly In Italian. The

T'APACY'S VICTORY,

BismaPCk's Concessions to the
Church Coming in for Criticism,
BERLIN, March 26.-Although 1t is
nearly certain that the Interhaus will
pass the ecclesiastical bill without alter
ing the main provisions as approved by
the Oberhaus, it is also certain that the
debate will disclose great discomfort
among the National Liberals over the eX-
tent OF the conces si0ns. Many Con-
servatives are equally dlssatls-
fed, although they refrain from
open opposition. Herr struckmann
National LtberaI gave expression TO the
feelings of his party, toward the close of
the debate, in declaring that he had no
confidence in the pacific disposition OF
the Bishops; that too many concessions
already made to the Catholic Church
would fail to effect complete Cancellation :;
that once beginning to make concessions
it would be found necessary, for the sake
OF peace, to concede whatever should be
demanded.
The Liberal press deplore the bill as a
reactiOnary step that adds greater
strength to Papal power within and
without Germany.
Die Vossische Zeitung says: "Not only
is the Roman Church undisputed victor
in the contest, but Germany's leading
statesman has even appealed to the
Pspacy for help to overcome opposition
which, after all, was composed of men
who, though his political enemies, are his
own countrymen."
Government papers praise Prince Bis
marck's action as effective sratesmanship,
but all sides admit the purely opportunist
character of the concession and doubt
whether the peace compact with the
church will be long maintained.

Palms, MILLIONS.
The Will to be Contested Under a
Very Transparent Ruse.

Inc VIII TO De contested OnOcf a
Very Transparent Ruse.
CHICAGO, March GA special from
Detroit says Judge Thomas NJ. Cooley
appeared in Wayne Circuit Court yester-
day as counsel for Miss Clotilde Palms,
daughter and JOINT heir with her brother,
Francis F. Palms, of the estate of the
late Francis Palms. The latter left prop
erty valued at about $7,000,0 900 to his two
children. The will provides for a trust
to be held until maturity is attained by
the children for either heir. This is as
near as the testator could come to entail
ing his vast possessions, and lawyers say
that this will not stand the test of our
laws. A provision in the Will disinherited
either heir who should contest the will
on its face, therefore this case Is merely
friendly discussion on the part or the
counsel to settle what the provisions of
the will mean. Under this disguise turks
what is expected will prove the greatest
Will contest in the history of the State,
and is likely to give to Miss Palms more
notoriety-she being known to the public
now as the lady with whom Senator
Jones, Of Florida, was smltten. AS Miss
Palms mas no children, the estate, in case
she dies unmarried and chlldless, would
revert to her brother or his children. Be-
sides Judge Cooley there is an eminent
array of legal talent in the case.
